Listened listless 10 his tale.
Though a night such peace possessing
Should all cautiausnesS disarm.

The one great event of the week was the

stands marked with prominence because
the rest of the week showed nothing what |
ever in a social way; but had it occurred in
the midst of the most continuous and |
gayest social ObServances. it would have
stood out in no less bold relief. because il |
was one OF the most complete and thorough &

OF social brilliancy.
In the afternoon Mrs. Trump gave a re- |
ceptiOn to her married lady friends. and |
over one hundred guests enjoyed her eX- |
